Newmontagreed to buy Australian gold miner Newcrest Mining for $17.5 billion. It would be the biggest ever gold-mining deal.
Gold prices are hovering near all-time highs given the recent flight to safety of investors amid banking turmoil and broader economic concerns. Newmont wants to capitalize, scooping up Newcrest’s low-cost, long-life gold assets.
But there’s another carrot. Newmont wants its rival’s copper assets, a metal proving important to the world’s energy transition–used in everything from electric-vehicles to solar panels and wind turbines.
Another commodity–this time oil–was at the center of a separate major deal as pipeline operator Oneok said it’s buying its rival Magellan Midstream Partners for $18.8 billion. It marks a move into oil for the predominantly natural gas-focused Oneok and would create a pipeline giant.
But it’s not just commodities driving the dealmaking. NeoGames agreed to be bought by Australian gaming technology developer Aristocrat Leisure for $1.2 billion.
